Our Lady of Good Counsel School opened in 1927, nearly a century ago, and has been serving students in Burlington County ever since! We will soon celebrate our 100th year with the graduates of 2027, a milestone worth celebrating together.
We continue to welcome students of all faith and background into our Roman Catholic parish school, where we are happy to meet the direction of Saint Peter: “Always be ready to tell whomever asks the reason for your hope and joy!”
As pastor, it is my honor to celebrate each student and family within our school community, and I offer my daily prayers and heartfelt thanks for trusting us with your children, our students, and tomorrow’s leaders.
I know! Not only am I the pastor at OLGC, but I also sent my own three sons through this school a few decades ago, remembering each of their Kindergarten Nativity Plays, their academic challenges and successes, and their participation in sports and extracurricular activities. My connection to OLGC School began in 1994 with my first child in the Early Childhood Center, through 2007 when my youngest graduated 8th grade - some of the best years of my life, and theirs!
Below, I share a gallery of images which each save a thousand words of text, sharing my insight into just some of the students and programs that make OLGC special.
Please never hesitate to reach out to me with questions about our school; I am delighted to provide you with answers, and we all welcome inquiries about how your child can be part of our next 100 years!
